✅ Here's What the commenter said: "Take a look at OneAz Credit Union if you want a preview
of SECU's future direction. They used to be "Arizona State Employees'
Credit Union" until the wolves got control of the hen house, then they
'rebranded' in 2016. "Now their original mission of serving the
employees of the state is entirely forgotten; they're open to anyone
living in the state of AZ."
"Their Board of Directors are "volunteers", but they're now each paid a 'stipend' of $28,000 per year, plus who knows what other perks and goodies like meals and luxury vacations framed as 'business retreats'. "
✅ Here's the info on Board of Directors Compensation
"At OneAZ Credit Union, we believe in transparency and accountability to our members. Our Board of Directors plays a critical role in guiding the strategic direction of our credit union, ensuring that decisions are made with the best interests of our members in mind. In line with our commitment to transparency, we're proud to share information about our board structure and stipend."
Board Members
"Our board consists of dedicated individuals who bring diverse expertise and perspectives to the table. They are committed to upholding the values of our credit union and serving the needs of our members. Here are the details of the stipend they receive for their service:
• Board Chair: $35,000
• Board Members: $28,000 each
• Advisory Director: $14,000"
